Straight from Singapore, the Samsung i7500 gets captured on video

Samsung’s first Android-powered offering just got some pretty thorough hands on treatment in Singapore. The folks at Tech65 give us a nice 7 minute look at the design of the i7500 in all of its Android-powered glory. With its bezel and brushed metal buttons, the i7500 has a design that seems to to appear on most Samsung touchscreen phones since the Omnia. The i7500 makes up for its predictable looks however, with its fast and responsive performance. With the exception of a possibly overly-sensitive accelerometer, the Android 1.5 OS on the i7500 looks pretty slick. HTC better watch out for this offering as it will likely give the Magic a run for its money when it launches next month on O2 Germany and possibly T-Mobile US later this year. Hit the jump for the video.

Ummm…3G Bands for AT&T on this one or more of the same ole T-mobile bands?

Crappy Keyboard, nothing that blows my mind. Personally Im glad I left WinMo 6.5 and went to Symbian S60V5 with the 5800 and the N97.

Samsung never puts out good phones in the US markets anyway. Say what you want, I was a US Samsung Rep for NYC.

Android is only good for web browsing, google’s jewel. Dosent do better in terms of doc editing and other MS office apps then WinMo devices.
What’s the big deal?
Dave, you agree? (Like to see you 4th!!)

Andriod is still relatively in its infancy. But I see a far reaching potential for them. I’m happy that manufactures are jumping on the bandwagon

Another android phone that looks exactly like other android phones. When is there going to be some good customization of the OS?

I like it but they will need to get that keyboard straightened out. Seems a lot snappier than the G1.

Mark R, how do you know what the keyboard is like? It will have a landscape mode.

fresh2death618, sounds like you have no idea of what Android is all about.

I’m excited for the 40 gb AND Android on a phone (assuming the rumored specs are correct). The 5 megapixel camera’s just icing on the cake.
